Running Straight To Divorce Court

haiku:  

a final lap---
the race ends before
crossing the finish line


limerick:  

They finally took the marriage leap!
They said the vows they hoped to keep!
But while in bed
She acted dead!
He claimed he used his best techniques!

couplet:

They ran in circles on frozen ground
But when the marriage ends,....no winners crowned.......

You really had me laughing with the line about the man using "his best techniques," Carrie. And it's so true that no one wins when the marriage cycle ends in divorce. Great entry for the contest! Best wishes for success. Love, Carolyn
